In the afternoon he appeared, seated in a palanquin, which was carried by four men, and escorted by more than two hundred of his people.

He was accompanied by a counselor and preceptor who did not leave him.

He came on board the ship when Columbus was at table.

He would not permit him to leave his place, and readily took a seat at his side, when it was offered.

Columbus offered him European food and drink; he tasted of each, and then gave what was offered to his attendants.
